Inside Higher Ed interviews UB president about increased numbers of Indian-born academics rising to leadership in U.S. universities

An article on Inside Higher Education about the growing
number of Indian-born academics who are being named to top
leadership roles at large U.S. research universities interviews UB
President Satish K. Tripathi. The fact that individuals saw
opportunity for graduate work and employment at American
universities, and the fact that such individuals are now rising to
top leadership jobs, is a testament to the meritocratic nature of
the U.S. higher-education system, he said. The article notes that
when Tripathi was appointed UB president in 2011, he was the only
Indian-born leader of an AAU institution.
